Letters Patent No. 86,705, elated February 9, 1869.

IMPROVEIVIfiNT IN STEAM WATER-ELEVATORS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pan, of thesame.

is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference h'einghad t0the accompanving drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

The nature of our invention consists in the combination of pipes A, B,and S, constructed and arranged with relation to each other, in mannersubstantially as hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, wewill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of our specification--Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a modification of our improvementin apparatus for raising water.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of our invention.

Figure 3 is an end view of the devices represented in fig. 2.

Figure 4 is an end view of the apparatus represented in fig. 1.

In the drawingsi A is the main pipe, or case, of the apparatus.

The pipe A is provided with a steam-chamber, B, into which leads asteam-pipe, S.

The bore of the pipe A, after passing the steamchamber R, is in the formof an hour-glass, that is to say, it is contracted at D, and expanded ate and O.'

The expanded part 0 has inserted in it a coniformed pipe, B, the outletof which is at y.

The pipe B is screwed into'the pipe A at the point marked 2.

The pipe B may be made in the form represented in fig. 1; that is tosay, it may have a series of oflsets, as

indicated at O, and a series of openings, 0.

The steam-pipe leading to chamber It, and the pipe leading to the water,may be arranged as indicated by the dotted lines I.

The construction of our improvement in apparatus for raising water,being clearlyshowu in the accompanying drawings, we will thereforeproceed to describe its operation, which is as follows:

The pipe 0., for carrying off the water, is secured to l the end, 0, ofthe pipe A, as indicated at'l, and the pipe leading to the water isattached-to pipe B at 3.

The steam enters the chamber B through pipe S.

From the chamber B it passes, in a thin annular-sheet,

pipe B, and forces it out through pipe 1;, to the place desired.

Having thus described the nature, construction, and

operation of our improvement,

What we claim as of our invention, isp The arrangement of parts A, B, 0,It, and S, with reference to the conducting-pipe a substantially asherein described.
